Pros

The community does benefit from some of the work we do.

Cons

1. Very little/poor training for staff at all levels. 2. High turnover of leadership and support staff. 3. High workload and under-staffing. 4. Senior leadership makes decisions without considering if we actually have the resources/expertise/staff to support additional projects. 5. Top-down dictatorial management style. 6. Inappropriate racial and sexual behavior. 7. Poor cooperation and attitude between departments. 8. Management that does not understand the duties of their subordinates. 9. Pays a lot of lip services to high ideals but lives up to none of them. 10. Wastes a lot of money that could be better spent.

Pros

Decent salary, work from home, good connections in the non-profit community.

Cons

Managers are hit or miss if they care about you or just themselves and promoting their own careers. The staff can be cliquey and it feels like high school, but that can be common with a very female dominant staff. Be ready to advocate for yourself and watch your back, as most people are only there to get ahead and will use you to do it.
